What is a $100 dollar resistor used for

[be80be]

There a 109.3035 ohms, 0.005% tolerance resistor made by Vishay Does any one have a idea what these are made for there even

it is guaranteed to be this weird value to 0.005% error and to have a 0.2ppm temperature coefficient and is supplied in a hermetically sealed package which is either, your choice, oil filled or air filled!? All its siblings in the series have values like 100, 130, 200, 400, 500, 1000,

From arduino forum I seen these in something just can't remember what.

Knowing Jaguars pretty well, it's probably a blower motor resistor. That's kinda cheap though.

You may be right I repaired a bower controller board that's where I think I seen them.

Could be a precision calibration standard.

Not actually used IN anything, just used to adjust your ohm meter so that it is accurate.

Agree with Chris, it must be some sort of calibration standard.
